The WIZ and the ZOZ

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something,
build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." -- R. Buckminster Fuller

Please read this in order. I introduce many ideas and pieces of the total concept in sequence. Every chapter assumes you know the ideas presented in the previous chapters. If you skip around, you will not understand! -- Steven Swift
